It seems that (almost?) all NixOS users start X using the services module,
because startx seems to be broken for quite some while. And it hit me while
getting to NixOS for the first time as well, so I then decided to just use the
service module.
As I'm working with multiple X servers, writing wrappers in ~/nixpkgs/config.nix
became tedious and so I decided to fix it, hopefully without breaking anything.
The fix consists of:
* Provide a default location for the Xorg log (~/.xorg.log - hope that's okay)
* Expose xauth through xinit to ensure purity and "unexpected behaviour", also
known as "simply not working", because xauth isn't in the user's environment.
* Actually provide the X binary so it doesn't have to be passed to startx every
time.

The extension pack is needed in order to have USB 2.0, RDP and PXE boot support
and is _not_ part of the free version, so please read their conditions before
using it:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/VirtualBox_PUEL
Further information and details about the extension pack is available here:
https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#intro-installing
I'm wimping out here and use requireFile to ask the user to fetch the extension
pack manually, simply because I'm not a lawyer. I've seen other distributions
that fetch the extension packs directly from upstream, but I'm not sure if that
is according to Oracle's PUEL.

This is a small wrapper of Git, which integrates some GitHub specific features,
especially stuff like merging or sending pull requests or attaching commits to
an issue.
I'm not quite familiar with the Nix integration of Ruby, so let's hope that I'm
not doing something horrible here.

Yet another HTTP benchmarking tool, which is really quite minimalistic and in
ANSI C.
This package maybe isn't even worth putting it in its own file and directory but
I did it for the sake of consistency.

Quite a lot of patching involved here, but the upstream package is no longer
maintained anymore. Nevertheless the tool is still useful in some environments.

Shouldn't take _that_ long to build, but I was impatient during fixing the
build and it doesn't hurt anyway, does it?

A bunch of these includes expect extra prefixes which we don't have in Nix, so
we are going to batch-fix them with sed.
